MAS: test, calculation and pace table
Maximum Aerobic Speed (MAS) represents the speed at which the runner reaches his maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). 100% of MAS represents the speed that one would be able to maintain over a 3000m. It is a key indicator of endurance performance, because it determines the maximum intensity that an athlete can maintain while making the best use of all the channels.
